| Text | The Athletics of Philadelphia held a large and enthusiastic meeting last week at Al Reach’s. The principal business brought before the meeting was a resolution to the effect that in future the selection of the nine, and the arranging of all matches, should be delegated to a committee of three, chosen from the nine. This resolution was, after an animated discussion, unanimously adopted, and Messrs. Reach, Fisler and Sensenderfer were appointed by the President to act as said committee. The resignation of Mr. Philadore S. Bell, as Corresponding Secretary, was read; but the club, by an unanimous vote having declined to accept the same, that gentleman will in future continue to occupy the position he has so long and ably filled. At a subsequent meeting of the nine, the popular Weston D. Fisler was elected Captain, and, under his efficient leadership, we expect to have the pleasure of chronicling a brilliant and uninterrupted series of victories for the Athletics such as have marked their career in former years. |
